A woman feared she would be killed at the hands of her boyfriend after he strangled her.
The victim was in her Ormskirk home when she was strangled twice by her partner, who had been drinking alcohol. Mark Slater told his girlfriend that he "might kill her" during the attack on the evening of July 27, 2022.
The 36-year-old, of Longfold, Maghull, is one of the first people to have been charged with intentional strangulation, after it became recognised as an offence in June. Preston Crown Court heard on the evening of the attack, Slater had been drinking, leaving his partner terrified he would carry through with the threat to kill her, Lancs Live reports.
